It seems as if I get pieces of glass or metal jumping when the motor is revving up.. Can that be the Catalytic Converter pieces coming apart inside... How can I test or clean it out... It is like popcorn going off in there.. I know the sound is coming from underneath and just a pain in the ***..lol

 

If a converter is plugged/restricted it can definitely cause a power loss.
If you connect a vacuum gauge to the intake manifold vac at idle should be around 17-19 in.

When the engine RPM is raised to around 2500 RPM if the vacuum continues go down, the exhaust system is plugged/restricted.

 

Thanks you sir and I will check this out tomorrow... and will let yas know..

Hopefully this will shed some light on the subject. I'm running out of hair to pull out dude.. Thanks for all your help... oh which side is bank 1 anyway ???

 

Codes ; Po171 and 2195 ???

 

Ok, Now I changed the spark plugs, It runs like I drove it out of the show room so go figure. I get no codes. Smoked a bit but cleaned right up. Thanks for all your help here !!! It's much appreciated.

 

Glad you got it squared away without too much trouble /expense ! Thanks for the update.

 

Yes Sir, For a while there I was pricing catilytic converters and thought I was going to have to replace the both of them.. Youtchhhh. But with all the help I got I saved a hell of a lot of money and can't thank yas enough !!!. BTW the Factory Service Manual I got online for like 7 bucks......... Doesn't show what I need it's more or less pictures of the truck taken apart is all.. drawings that is...
